Man charged with stabbing two Asian women in San Francisco . . . "Patrick Thompson, 54, of San Francisco also was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse for Tuesday's attack, with sentencing enhancements for great bodily injury, great bodily injury on elders and personal use of a deadly weapon, the district attorney's office said in a statement.
"Thompson, who has a history of mental illness, could face a potential life sentence if convicted. He was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Friday. The San Francisco public defender's office, which is representing Thompson, said it would be able to comment after the arraignment.
"A witness told KGO-TV that the man was carrying a large knife with knuckles on the handle and without warning attacked the women as they waited for a bus on Market Street.
" 'The knife punctured one victim’s lungs, requiring extensive surgery,” the district attorney’s office said. “A knife had to be removed from another victim at the hospital.”
"Authorities initially said the women were 65 and 84 years old and didn't immediately identify them. But a family member said the elder victim was 85-year-old Chui Fong Eng." . . .
SF DA Chesa Boudin will likely side with the stabber, being the son of 60s antifa-type parents.
"Two elderly Asian women were stabbed this week while standing along San Francisco’s Market Street, according to video footage obtained by ABC 7’s Dion Lim.
“ 'I was also provided an image of the x-ray showing the weapon used. It was still inside Mrs. Chui Fong’s body at the time it was taken,” Lim said in a report Thursday." . . .
